The claim, if confirmed, surpasses the achievement laid out by leaders from the Human Genome Project and Celera Genomics in 2000.
Adobe An international team of scientists says it has sequenced the entirety of the human genome, including parts that were missed in the sequencing of the first human genome two decades ago. The claim, if confirmed, surpasses the achievement laid out by leaders from the Human Genome Project and Celera Genomics on the White House lawn in 2000, when they announced the sequencing of the first draft human genome. That historic draft, and subsequent human DNA sequences, have all missed about 8% of the genome. The sequencing of the new genome fills in these gaps using new technology. It has differ...
